lakes watershed by either, (a) total contain-
ment, (b) advanced waste treatment which will
limit the flow weighted inorganic nitrogen,
orthophosphate and total pho~phorus concentra-
tions of the combined natural and wastewater
inflows ~o the lakes of less than 0.30 mgN/I,
O.OlO mgP/I and 0.050 mgP/l, respectively, or
(c) secbndary waste treatment with discharge to
the Colorado River below Lake Granby.

4. That the federal agencies immediately
implement recommendation number 3 in order to
control the contribution to water pollution from
their activities or facilities. In conjunction
with this,. the federal agencies must cooperate
with and assist the local government in the
development and implementation of an adequate
regional wastewater treatment system.

5. That a comprehensive pian for water
pollution control and quality management be
developed for the three-lakes watershed. This
plan should include a regional wastewater col-
lection, treatment and disposal system to be
fully implemented no later than 1975. The
plan must also provide the controls necessary
to insure that future development will not
degrade the water quality of the three lakes.

6. That the water quality of the lakes,
natural inflow and waste sources be monitored
periodically to determine seasonal changes in
nutrient loads, and to evaluate the effective-
ness of any improvements or additions made to
the present wastewater treatment facilities.
The National Park Service, the Bureau of
Reclamation, and the State of Colorado should
make arrangements to accomplish this monitor-
ing. I guess we are saying it is their baby
because they are the ones that own the wells. I
The state has its standards and the National
Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation are
responsible for these three lakes.

This is. essentially it in a nutshell. The
